On the other hand

Is New York City, the only major city to have so many "One-Way" streets?

How about a few bus lines on these "One-way" Avenues with buses that would be at home in Japan or England.
The ones set up for Right-hand drive.
This way, both sides of the street could be utilized for bus traffic.

Let the hounds loose!

People would be jaywalking in order to be on the correct side of the street to get on the first arriving bus.

Not to mention the reduction in parking spaces.

Boston has trackless trolleys with doors on both sides. They use the left-side door on the lower level of the Harvard Square underground bus station.

Diesel buses use the same platform, and people cross in front of the bus.

Some school buses in the NYC area have doors on both sides.

UC Davis uses double-decker London buses for shuttle/transit routes, with doors only on the left.

Are there any others in the US?

Cleveland's Health Line BRT and Eugene Oregon's EmX BRT both use New Flyer articulated buses with doors on both sides.

Most major cities have one way streets.
